“…For instance, President Trump's deregulatory push and his hostility toward the idea of a social cost of carbon are both rooted in the policy prescriptions made by think tanks like the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the Cato Institute, and the Heritage Foundation. 15 US think tanks began to emerge during the Progressive Era. Their goal was to give a voice to experts and specialists in public discourse, which is why their members did their utmost to stay clear of political squabbling and partisan confrontations.…”

As the international community and the United States have been struggling with how to address human-made climate change, some voices have started calling for conscious efforts to engineer the earth's climate in order to limit the amount of damage humankind will incur in the 21 st century and beyond. Consider, for instance, former Exxon Mobil CEO and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's remark to the effect that climate change is "an engineering problem and it has engineering solutions." 1 According to J.G. Shepherd, "geoengineering is deliberate intervention in the climate system to counteract man-made global warming." 2 He goes on to reference two main classes of geoengineering, "direct carbon dioxide removal and solar radiation management that aims to cool the planet by reflecting more sunlight back to space." 3 So far, much of the discussion regarding geoengineering has been taking place in the Northern Hemisphere, especially in English-speaking countries, although it has also been happening on occasions in China. 4

The scientific community has reached a consensus on humans’ important role as causative agents of climate change; however, branches of society are still sceptical about this. Climate change is a key issue for humanity and only the commitment to change human attitudes and lifestyles, at the global level, can be effective in its mitigation. With this purpose, it is important to convey the right message and prevent misinformation to manipulate people’s minds. The present study aims to understand the factors shaping European citizens’ thoughts on the causes of climate change. Using data from the European Social Survey 10 collected in 2022, we fitted statistical models using the people’s thoughts on causes of climate change (natural, anthropogenic or both) as dependent variables. As independent variables, we used the impact of the media through time spent on news and time spent on the internet, level of education, level of trust in scientists, awareness of online or mobile misinformation and gender. We concluded that the typical European citizen who believes in anthropogenic causes of climate change is a female, is more literate, trusts more in scientists, is younger, spends more time reading the news and has more awareness of misinformation presence in online and mobile communications.
